I knew Dick from when i was little & my family lived in Riverton. When my parents Julie & Greg Graham were members of the Eagles club in Riverton. When I was little Dick would be at the Eagles club and would walk around the property with me. I am sorry for your loss..Prayers and thought go to your family.

I grew up with Dick on Canedy Street. We played on the Hay-Edwards basketball team together. I still recall all of the good times we had in our youth. I am sorry my old playmate has passed on and offer the family my condolences.
